Counting Pronunciation: Zahlen Aussprache

By -
Hallo! Guten Tag! 🙂
I'm sure that someone who doesn't have any exposure to this language would surely think: "How am I gonna pronounce all this?" So here's a link wherein you can find pronunciation of German words:

Having said that, I would suggest you to go through the following video. It covers the counting from 1-100.


I know it's slightly [actually verrryyy] long video. So here's a shorter one. But it only covers counting from 1-10. Sing along!! 🙂
Few Tips
Hearing would definitely help you know the pronunciation of a certain word, but if you really want to speak any language fluently, then PRACTICE!!
  • Practice in front of mirror and say the words out loud. 
  • Try talking in German with somebody who already knows this language. Luckily, my brother had also studied German. So we used to talk in German to get hold of the accent.
  • While hearing any audio, repeat along with it. If it's a song, then sing along. 🙂
  • Listen to an audio. Record your pronunciation. Compare. You would definitely know where you're lagging.
Do sing the Zahlenlied! 🙂
Auf Wiedersehen!

Imperative Sentences: Imperativsätze

By -
What are Imperative Sentences? An imperative sentence gives anything from a command or order, to a request, direction, or instruction. Imperative sentences do  require an audience; as their aim is to get the person(s) being addressed either to do or to not do something. Therefore,  Imperativsätze are generally used with 2nd person Singular and Plural. Formal Command - Sie This form is used when one or more people are addressed formally. I hope that you must be knowing that Sie is used to address second person(s) formally, both in Singular and Plural forms. In case you don't, then do go through  Personal Pronouns  first. Beispiele: 1. Nehmen Sie Hustensaft! [Take the cough syrup!] 2. Machen Sie die Arbeit, Herr Kumar!  [Do the work, Mr. Kumar!] 3.  Öffn en Sie die B ücher, Herr und Frau Chopra! [Open the books, Mr.  and Mrs. Chopra!] 4. Diktieren Sie den Satz! [Dictate the sentence!] 5. Komm...

Nomen: Singular und Plural

By -
In the previous post we learned that every noun is associated with an article. Irrespective of the fact whether that noun is masculine, feminine or neutral in its singular form, its article changes to die in its plural form. So we know that article changes, but what about that noun itself? Well, it changes too. For example, in English, plural form of car is cars. Basically "s" is suffixed with car to change its singular form to plural form. Likewise in German, there are certain endings which are suffixed with a noun to change it from its singular form to plural form, which are as follows: S.No. Ending Singular Form Plural Form 1 ~(ä/ö/ü)-- No Ending  das Kabel  der Computer  der Apfel  die Tochter  die Kabel  die Computer  die Äpfel  die Töchter 2 ~s  der Kuli  das Auto  die Kulis  die Autos 3 ~n  die Tasche  die Regel  die Taschen  die Regeln 4 ~(s)e  der ...
